What is the estimated annual cost of operating a big screen t.v. in your house? About $30 according to the Los Angeles Times.

Meanwhile, industry lobbyists are fighting to get this legislation revoked from the state government, saying that the free market is actually eliminating the t.v.'s in question and replacing them with more energy efficient LCD and Plasma models. Their cries are apparently falling on deaf ears though, as the legislators in California are still pushing this needless bill through.
